Caregiving responsibilities are changing — and workplace policies need to keep up.

In this month’s HR Hot Topics, Jodi Schafer explores why caregiver leave is more than a nice-to-have benefit. With more employees balancing work alongside caring for aging parents, children and other family members, the right support can become an important tool for retention, job satisfaction and workplace culture.

Watch the August episode of HR Hot Topics to learn how small changes can help you support the employees you depend on most.
